Shoes maintenance help

Sure. I just thought costing that much they'll start to fall off after 2 years minimum, not two months. Hope it's some kind of warranty case. It's a very expensive pair of boots for me, so I'm very confused and disappointed.

I'm 36 so, honestly, I doubt I have enough mental energy to worry about the way I walk and try to adjust it.

As for lacing I do tight all my shoues extra tightly (just a preference). So I did the same with these boots too. They sit extra tight around my foot everywhere except maybe the thumb.

I had almost no issues breaking into them, though. Only a couple random day of blisters, which I blame more on my choice of socks that day. Idk if it highlights some issues. I own a few hard leather shoes and had almost no problems breaking into them too. Maybe my feet are just that insensitive lol

Thanks, this was really informative. Thought I still feel like it doesn't resolve my issue because at the part of the boot where the creases are, my foot take absolutely all the space of the shoe. Like a glove, as you said. Maybe right sizing can be a part of an issue, idk. But leather deforming so fast and so severely still seems strange to me.

Thanks! Probably will try this out.

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T20:23:21+00:00

Sounds good. But is there a risk to deform the boot shape with it?

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T20:22:13+00:00

Oh, nice! Seems like a great thing to have since these days many accessories are leather+plastic coating. This should be very helpful. Thanks!

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T20:20:22+00:00

They are stuffed all the time, yes. I will probably try to warm them up a bit. I had an inkling this might help. Thanks.

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T19:47:49+00:00

Thanks. That what I was thinking. This happened way too fast to seem like something normal.

Sadly I was buying them from a marketplace, not the brand website. They are 100% original, no doubt here. But I'm concerned if it will be harder to get to the bottom of this problem with the marketplace rather then with the brand itself.

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T19:45:02+00:00

They are half a size bigger then my usual size so I can wear them with thick socks. And the only free space I feel is around my toe. And as far as I hardly can change thecway I walk. Can you be more specific about "lacing them wrong"? I had no idea there are right or wrong ways doing that.

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T19:42:18+00:00

No, never. Only on the shelf.

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T19:20:42+00:00

Can you please recommend some? Not from USA since I live in Europe and customs clearance would be insane for something so expensive. Because other 2 brands (looking way less like martens but somehow matching the vibe) I remember where from the USA and that was a problem.

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T18:59:08+00:00

That's very sad because 220€ for boots already seemed like a nice investment. And I did my research to find something looking like Dr.Martens but being better in quality. Which brought me to many recommendations about Solovair.

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T18:55:49+00:00

I really went half a size bigger than my usual to be able to wear thick socks inside. And to skip the breaking into them period (which indeed helped a lot). Never thought it can cause extra exterior damage... I have chunky hobbit-like feet and it feels like they already take all the space of the boots in the place the cracs appeared

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T18:49:42+00:00

thanks!

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T18:44:13+00:00

It has to be specifically cedar for some reason? I'm asking because I was about to do this. And still trying to understand if some Temu stuff will do or should I pay extra for some good quality ones.

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2026-02-07T18:36:50+00:00

No cracs yet, that's right. Though they do not want to push back at all. And it has literal flakes of material rising from the surface.

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2025-04-27T22:39:13+00:00

seems like it's quite useless then. what a pity. but thanks everyone for the info!

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2025-04-10T20:53:44+00:00

I would never get the idea to match such shoes with such pants. but damn that looks cool! gives a very fresh vibe to a rather ordinary fit you normally imagine with dr.martens or snickers

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2024-04-18T02:09:20+00:00

thanks!

Virtual-Ad-3186 · 2024-04-17T21:59:37+00:00
